Days passed and Dom never left her side. They hadn't put a label on what they were yet there didn't seem to be a need to.
Dom was at the garage while Mia spent the day at the house with Jade.
"Dom are we going to the race tonight we haven't been to one in a while, people are talking." Rome said.
"Yea we're going just keep eyes on Jade."
Brian helped with the Nos system. "Jade is starting to look normal again. Finally. I think tonight will be good for her."
Dom nodded. "Jade said her mom needed her back for some things to do with the investigation."
Brian nodded "I take her to the airport tomorrow, but she's coming back on wednesday."
Dom let out a groan. "I don't wanna leave her like that."
Brain and the others agreed.
"its 4 days Dom." Tej said. "We will count down with ya man."
"A lot can happen in 4 days. Maybe I'll go with her if it's ok with her, and your mom."
Brian nodded. "I was gonna do the same thing. I just don't want her to feel alone right now."
"You don't want who to feel alone?" Jade asked surprising them. She and Mia had shopping bags.
Brian dropped his wrench. "Sorry. I just don't like the fact you have to go back there."
"Well I'm only going to be a couple days and I wanna grab some more things to come back here and stay if that's okay with everyone."
Dom grabbed her in his arms."You better come back." he leaned down and kissed her.
"Promise."
"Call, text ,check in so we know your okay. I hate not being there."
Jade kissed him again. "I'll be okay."

Everyone dropped her at the airport and watched her plane takeoff.
Jade put on a brave front but inside she was scared to death. She had not received anymore texts from her stalker and for some reason that scared her more.
Her mom picked her up at the airport and they drove in silence to the house . As they rounded the driveway she looked at the big house and missed everyone back at Dom's. It was her and her mom in a 5 bedroom 4 bath house. Her mom loved lavish things and whatever could show off her money, jade sometimes wondered if that was what made her a target.
"I've missed you around here."
"I've missed you to mom."
"Are you sure you wanna go back to LA with your Brother."
Jade smiled. "I'm positive. I met someone and thru the scars he likes me. I wanna be there."
"Well I'll help you pack."
"Thanks mom."
The next afternoon she went to the police station and tried to make a match thru some mugshots. She couldn't.
They got back to the house and Jade sat down at the island while her mom settled in.
"Will you be okay tonight by yourself for a little bit?"
Jade nodded. She was in the middle of texting Dom and Brian.
"I have a date tonight and I really don't wanna cancel."
"yea mom its fine."
Her mom went to get ready and Jade sent a text to Dom.
' I'll be so glad to be back there. My mom has a date tonight and im trying to be okay with being alone, but I wish you were here.'
' I wish I was there too. We have a race tonight but I'll text the whole time unless I race. We can facetime and you can watch if that'll help.'
' sounds good. Talk to ya soon.'
Jade went to take a shower and then she ordered a pizza as her mom walked out the door.
Brian was trying to make her feel better, and so were Mia and the others.
She ate some pizza and was watching bad tv when the lights started to flicker. Jade got up and walked to the kitchen when the lights went out.
"Great."
She grabbed a flashlight and then she heard glass break. Her heart started to beat fast.
"It's ok Jade it's ok."
She went to the basement and tried the breakers but nothing was working. She heard something upstairs and thought maybe her mom was home. She ran up the stairs and to the kitchen.
"MOM!?" the door was open and when she looked out her mom's car wasn't there.
She closed the door and used the flashlight to look around as her heart picked up several speeds.
She knew Dom was in a race so she messaged Mia.
' Mia I think I have a problem. Have Brian or Dom call me please'
'ok. Are you okay?'
' I don't know.'
She looked through the livingroom and the dining room but she couldn't see anything. She listened and heard nothing. Maybe it was all in her head.
She went to head back to the livingroom when she was caught from behind and slammed into a wall hands crushing around her throat. She went to scream when was hit in the face with some kind of liquid and then he resumed to choke her. She brought up her hand with the flashlight and cracked her assailant across the head causing him to loosen his grip on her, and enough surprise that she could push him away . She ran up the stairs blinded by whatever he threw in her face, and hid under a bed. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and dialed what she thought was 911 then turned her phone over so her screen could not be seen. She thought she was safe until he grabbed her by the leg. Pulling her from under the bed she kicked and tried to scream but she just couldn't. She kicked him in the gut and ran tripping on her own 2 feet. Just as she got to the stairs he pushed her and she fell hoping it would kill her before she was trapped again as his prisoner. The police sirens were heard and as she hit bottom she saw his skillfully walk out the back door before she lost consciousness.
Hobbs was in town trying to help the police with finding the guy that was after Jade when the call came thru on the scanner. He called Dom and Brian and they had a flight out on the red eye to get there fast, and Hobbs went with the police to Jades house. The ambulance was called and he rushed to her side careful not to move her in case of a spine injury. She was in and out of consciousness as the paramedics took care of her Hobbs never left her.
It was 2 days later when Jade started to come to. She felt someone holding her hand and she jerked away not being able to see and then Doms soothing words calmed her.
"shhh baby its me."
"Why can't I see?" she pulled the oxygen away from her face and tried to get up.
"Baby calm down. The doctors said there was some kind of oil thrown into your eyes. They had to wait for you to wake up to clean it out."
"what happened?"
Brian kissed her on the head as she settled down. "Your 911 call went thru. Hobbs was there and gave us the details and we rushed out here. The attacker was gone when they got to you."
"i saw his face this time, before he threw something in my face. I still saw him. " she closed her eyes as she started to drift off again.
Dom was furious. "Brian and I will stay with Jade till the doctors release her and we can bring her home. I need you guys to run the garage and take care of Mia."
Rome nodded. "You got it. Keep us updated."
Dom shook his hand and nodded then he and Brian sat by her bed as the others left to go back home.
That evening they cleaned her eyes and even though things were still blurry she was happy to have her sight back. She gave the description to the detectives and they were putting his face out all over hopefully he would be caught soon.
There was no extreme damage done due to her assault and after 5 days in the hospital she was released and they headed straight back to LA.
